WE ARE VERY SORRY YOUR LOSS. OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.
MY MOTHER VIOLET, AND CLARABELLE WERE FRIENDS FOR YEARS. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW THEY LOVED TO TALK ON THE PHONE, EAT OUT AND GO FOR CAR RIDES. THEY WERE VERY SPECIAL FRIENDS… I AM VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS…
Rita and family sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you all..
The pain of losing someone as special as a mom can be overwhelming; I too know that pain. May your family find comfort as I have in knowing that our loving heavenly Father promises us that very soon he will ‘wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more.’ (Revelation 21:4) What a wonderful day that will be!
Such a sweet and wonderful woman, treated me like I was her own. RIP Mom, heaven got a new angel.
